That's not correct. The status virtual server is used when you want a dedicated handler for status-server requests. Any virtual server can handle them on any port if you allow it.

The global setting is here:

Your shared secret isn't what you think it is.

Please don't send us default config files - we know what they contain.

If you think something is not working, please send a full debug to the list showing the failure.
